During the time we spent at home, we focused on different areas. One of them is growing plants. Especially in home decoration, the beautiful atmosphere added by plants was loved. Perhaps we wanted to include them in our living space with the longing to embrace nature. Already, many house plants are preferred because they support the beautiful energy and oxygen level in the environment, this is great.
If you want
to start somewhere and don't know what to do, we are ready to help. We've put
together what you need to pay attention to when choosing house plants and learn
about their care.
Tips for Growing
Plants at Home
First of all, you can research the plants you like and make a list. It will be easier to determine which plants you want to grow in the beginning. In addition, it is more enjoyable and enjoyable to grow a plant you love. It is also very important to find out which plants you want to grow and how they should be looked after by doing detailed research.
When
choosing for houseplants, you should determine how much space you can allocate
to these plants after preparing the list. If you have the opportunity to grow
in a small area, the number of plants should not be too much. House plants that
are located very close to each other may not develop well. You can choose
according to the size of the plants and the size of the area.
If you have pets,
pay attention to this issue. It would be better to position the plants out of
their reach. Even pets, If they eat the leaves of plants such as Aloe Vera,
Elephant Ear and Begonia, they may be poisoned due to the toxic effect. Plants
such as African Violet, Ribbon Flower and Areca Palm are harmless to them.
If you are
going to choose a plant that needs to benefit from daylight, locating part is
very important at this point again. Plants that do not get enough daylight may
not develop as we expect. We do not want such a result for house plants that we
want to grow with care. For this, you
can easily grow your plants by choosing an area of the house that receives
light.
Water needs
of each plant can be different. After choosing the plant, it is absolutely
necessary to learn this while doing research on care. Generally, it is more
harmful to water the plants rather than less. It is extremely important to act
according to the needs of the plant you will grow in terms of irrigation
frequency.
When
choosing pots for houseplants, you should consider the size of the plants and
the size of the pots. The edges of the pot should be 4-5 cm away from the root
of the plant in order to be suitable for the size of the plant… As the plant
grows, it is a right method to put it in a larger pot. If you choose a pot
larger than the size of the plant, the roots may not reach enough moisture
during watering. That's why size matters.
What Are
Easy-Care House Plants?
Camel Base
(Monstera Deliciosa)
It is one of
the most popular types of houseplants and easy to maintain. Its aesthetic
stance and the difference it creates in decoration may also be the reason for
choice. The water temperature you will use while watering this plant is important.
Irrigation with rested water is more efficient for him. If the temperature is
high in summer, irrigation can be done every day. In the winter months,
irrigation will be sufficient by controlling the amount of moisture in the
soil. When it comes to light, a semi-shadow environment is suitable for him. He
can grow quite happily without getting direct sunlight.

The Hall
Leaf, which is long-lasting and durable, can grow even without sunlight. Its
evergreen leaves can withstand even very hot weather conditions. It will be
enough to pay attention to the irrigation method that you do not give excessive
water. Since excessive watering will cause rotting of the roots, doing this
process after controlling the moisture of the soil will allow it to develop
more efficiently.

(Zamioculcas Zamiifolia)
Zamia Plant
is among the species that stand out with its durability in houseplants. It will
not be good for him to water this plant, which has a very vivid and bright
appearance. Watering the soil when it dries is of great importance for the
healthy growth of the onions at the bottom of the soil. If there are folds in
the leaf parts, it means that it has been exposed to sunlight. It will thrive
better in a semi-shade environment.
Madagascar
Dragon Tree (Dracaena Marginata)
It is a
species whose leaves can grow up to 30 centimeters or even 90 centimeters when
looked well. Madagascar Dragon Tree has a feature of clearing the air in the
environment where it is located. Its rapid growth and not needing water are
also among the reasons for preference. You should keep this plant, which you
can grow at room temperature, away from places with drafts such as doors or
windows. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It will be sufficient to
water it twice a week in the summer and once a week in the winter.
Money Flower
(Crassula Ovata)
It is
believed that Money Flower will bring money and luck as a result of staying in
an environment for more than 3 months. The Money Flower, which can grow in room
temperature conditions, should be away from areas with air flow and should be
placed in an area where it can receive daylight. It will be enough to water
this plant, which does not like much water, once a week. Care should be taken
not to accumulate water at the bottom of the pot, because the accumulation of
water can rot the root and turn the leaves yellow. We wish you good luck if
your choice on houseplants favors Money Flower.

grow. Let your energy rise and nature embrace you with these plants that change
the atmosphere and support oxygen.
